The Philosopher Monkey

Showing off more of my coloring practise with my favorite Jedi, Kit Fisto..

I’ve begun to teach myself how to color digitally. Here is my attempt to color several Marvel Heroes. I am not sure who the artist is, but please feel free to clue me in. I’m open for any crits as well.

Due to technology difficulties, EEK! Little Monsters! will be late until I can acquire through guile or money a new scanner. Be patient, it’s coming back.

EEK! Little Monsters! by John Wilson

The Monsters are on the road to the Lexington Comic and Toy Convention when Vladie finds out his favorite cartoonist (and mine) will be there. Rebecca Hicks Little Vampires can be found at http://www.littlevampires.com . Check it out! It is more than worth it.

Next week, more con fun and the strip might even be on time…but don’t bet on it.

Chaney displays his displeasure to Gillie’s bathroom invasion.

So the lateness…I was at the Louisville Arcade Expo (http://www.arcaderx.com) last weekend. And as luck would have it, I will be at another comic convention this weekend, the Lexington Comic Con (http://www.lexingtoncomiccon.com) but this time, the Little Monsters are coming with me, so we will be derailing the above story line for a bit and showing what mischief that I, and my little friends get into in Lexington. I can’t wait! See you there.

Sorry, kids but EEK! Little Monsters! Will be late this week. I spent the whole weekend at the Louisville Arcade Expo (http://www.louisvillerx.com) on the first stop of the Derby City Comic Con (http://www.derbycitycomiccon.com). The strip will appear later in the week.

EEK! Little Monsters! by John Wilson

Gillie makes a social faux pas while Chaney tries to have a few quiet moments alone.

For the other creators, I am trying out different programs to create the strip. Last time it was SAI and now is Artweaver. I’m open for suggestions. Cheap or free is always better.

You’ve met Franklin but the rest of the characters will start appearing pretty quickly so I figured that I would take this opportunity to introduce you to the rest of the group.

*Chaney the Werewolf: Chaney loves comics, is obsessed with his hair and while quick to anger, is really a lovable guy.

*Vladie the Vampire: Vladimir (he hates when you call him that)  is your typical preteen vampire. Grumpy, moody, greedy, and can’t be convinced that his Father’s cape is way too big for him.

*Gillie the Mere-Creature: Gillie can’t swim but likes to practice in the bathtub as long as he has his water-wings and his Mr. Duckie flotation device. He also sleeps with them. We are not sure why.

*Izzy the Invisible Baby: Isadora is a cute (we assume) and well behaved baby. Until she manages to get her diaper, hat and booties off; then the whole house is in an uproar! She also has 15 different ways of saying “Goo”.

*Ozzy the Flying Monkey: Ozzy is the enigma. He loves to have fun, loves to help his friends but says very little. If you get more than a word a day out of him, it is a rare day. No one is quite sure where he got that very familiar top hat. He also sleeps where ever he lands, be it your bed or your head.

There will be quite a few others taking the stage but, with Franklin, those are the six housemates. I hope you enjoy them and hopefully they will enjoy you too.

Meet Franklin N. Stein. Oldest and de facto leader of the Little Monsters. But don’t let that fool you, Franklin is still a growing boy and gets power ( and a media download) every morning to start his day. Franklin doesn’t quite understand the guys he lives with but finds them endlessly fascinating.

This is an alternative line up of the ELM characters. It was hand colored and I didn’t really like it so I just started drawing lines on it and then the lines got interesting. And then they didn’t and then they did again. So here it is, a future procrastination from finishing the first strip.
